Raise a glass because many Jersey Shore alums have a whole lot of love in their lives today. 

Nearly a decade since they first burst onto the scene as Seaside Heights' resident party animals, there are plenty of updates when it comes to their cast's relationship statuses. Instead of strolling the boardwalk in search of a summer fling, many of the former cast members have gone on to find love, get married and become parents after the cameras shut off. 

"This is our life now," JWoww dished to E! News last year as she snuggled her little girl Meilani. "It's kind of crazy from six, seven years ago. But this is our daily life, our daughters are our No. 1 fans and our No. 1 supporters."

While not all of the cast has welcomed little ones just yet, they have their share of romance. So, ahead of the finale of sequel series Jersey Shore: Family Vacation, pause the GTL and catch up on the Jersey Shore stars' personal lives with a little help from this handy relationship status report:

In April 2018, they got engaged. The two wed in front of family and friends, including Jersey Shore stars, in October 2018. And, in may 2021, they welcomed baby boy Romeo Reign Sorrentino

After a tumultuous on-and-off romance with co-star Ronnie Ortiz-Magro, the reality star got engaged fellow New Jersey native Christian Biscardi. And in order to protect her relationship, Sammi chose not to return for Jersey Shore Family Vacation.

"I have chosen not to join the show this season because I am at a completely different place in my life right now focusing on my businesses and relationship," she explained via an Instagram post. "I am not the same person as I was when I was 22. At 31, I am currently extremely happy in every aspect of my life and want to avoid potentially TOXIC SITUATIONS."

However, in July 2021, she confirmed they had split. Still, perhaps she'll ifnd her happily ever after in new boyfriend Justin May.

Jenni "JWoww" Farley

Status: Engaged

In a romance that played out a bit on the show, JWoww and her longtime love Roger Matthews tied the knot in 2015 and share two children together, daughter Meilani, and son Greyson. Come September 2018, news broke that JWoww had filed for divorce, citing "irreconcilable differences" in court documents. In April 2019, it was revealed she was dating New York wrestler Zack Clayton Carpinello, who had actually attended her and Roger's wedding. They got engaged in February 2021. 

Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi

The cast's resident "meatball" has long ditched her days of looking for juicy Italian hunks since marrying husband Jionni LaValle in 2014. The couple have three children together, son Lorenzo, daughter Giovanna, and son Angelo, who was born in May 2019

Sammi's former flame briefly dated Malika Haqq, then moved on with Jen Harley, with the couple welcoming their first child, a daughter, in April 2018. Later that month, they had a massive fight on social media and broke up. In June, they got into a physical altercation. They later reconciled. But things turned ugly again in October, then calmed down, and then got even uglier in January 2019, when they broke up again. In October 2020, Ronnie introduced fans to girlfriend Saffire Matos, who he proposed to in June 2021.

Deena Cortese

While she was the last to join the Jersey Shore crew, she's one of the first to tie the knot. Cortese and her longtime boyfriend, Christopher Buckner, said "I do" in October 2017. They welcomed their second child in May 2021.
